Interoperability and HIE Forum: Driving Interoperability in 2023: CURES, TEFCA, and Information Blocking

Monday, April 17 at 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM CT
South Building, Level 1 | S103

The long-awaited Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) is live and exchange partners are signing up. Hot on its heels comes rules from the Office of the National Coordinator for HealthIT to prevent Information Blocking as required by the 21st Century Cures Act signed into law in 2016. These rules provide for unprecedented financial penalties for entities that, “prevent, discourage, or interfere with the access, exchange, or use of [health] information.” Complying with these new rules is a challenge for many health information exchange partners. Our panel will explore the intricacies of compliance and outline the evolving compliance landscape.
